Update: Biden administration official and energy lawyer nets massive immigration contract
Posted on 8/7/26 at 6:24 am
Posted on 8/7/26 at 6:24 am
With a staggering 26 people working for the boutique firm…..with no immigration experience.
I keeed it’s a Trump official
Why Trump picked a Houston boutique law firm for a $150 million job
God help us

Sure seems to pay off if you’re in Trump’s orbit…..or you’re his kid.
Update:
All you downvotes can suck it
Magically Burke Law Firm decline’s participation:)
So let’s now discuss why it was ok for the award to be gifted to them. Looks like they didn’t want to participate in Trump’s games….due to public pressure.
So all you downvoters should now try and untwist yourselves
This should be interesting

quote:
A Houston-based boutique law firm is poised to receive a $150 million contract from the Trump administration to represent thousands of unaccompanied migrant children in immigration court—a major shift from the large national nonprofit that previously handled the work.
quote:
The announcement marks a dramatic departure from the previous provider, a national nonprofit with hundreds of staff members and a network of legal organizations that served more than 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children nationwide. The work is now slated to move to a firm with 26 listed representatives, raising concerns about how the existing caseload will be transferred and managed.
quote:
On its website, the firm describes itself as a full-service commercial litigation practice, specializing in "elite legal counsel for high-stakes matters."

Among Burke Law Group's recent high-profile cases was its representation of a Texas surgeon who allegedly leaked information about Texas Children's Hospital's treatment of minors receiving gender-affirming care.
This is child abuse, so is trafficking minors across our border.
This is who previously had the $350 million contract.

Acacia declined the government's data requests, citing attorney-client privilege and ethical duties to protect young clients' private information
They are harboring and protecting illegals with tax payer money.

I don’t understand the whole unaccompanied minors thing. If we find an illegal minor here there should be immediate return to the kid’s home country. The home country should be taking charge of this and finding family members.

The op is cool with child abuse and letting an ngo launder tax money to protect illegals.
Posted on 8/7/26 at 6:56 am to idlewatcher
You dumb fck,
the Acacia center for justice was paid 100s of millions.
Their "network" of 20,000 is just subcontracting other NGOs
The pricks would not even turn over information regarding the kids because they said it was "lawyer/client" priveledge......and the fed govt is the client.
Their contract expired and was awarded to someone who might actually work with the client paying the bill.
Its a nonprofit. Guess what the federal govt is nonprofit....but a lot of people get very rich, nonprofits aint what they used to be.
Lastly, before posting yet another "gotcha" about Trump, perhaps a wee bit of research would prove you are another sucker of clickbait OMB

But how is Kushner profiting from this?
Posted on 8/7/26 at 7:21 am to idlewatcher
The grifting is getting bad. It's disappointing the sons are making money off of the MIC. I also had no idea until the other day Jr. is involved in Kalshi and Polymarket.
Kush is on another planet. Cajunagelle just posted something in a Cuba thread about Arab investors making it Trump Island. Gee, I wonder who would benefit from those deals.

Well, there you go.
Identify this "national non-profit," please.
Then dig into the campaign donations of its members.

The Trump‘s are an extremely successful family of businessman. They would be making way more money if Donald wasn’t president. And they definitely are not using the war in Iran to do insider trading, Eric said it’s in a blind trust.

That’s a job for Hunter and Dad. Showers in the Executive Offices.

They claimed that the kid had a tio (uncle) that lived in Chicago. Kid gets shipped to Chicago to someone that can't be verified as an actual family member. Picture the excuse, "The child is from Roatan, but the uncle was from San Pedro Sula, so the child doesn't remember where the uncle's former address was, doesn't know the names of his kids in Honduras or the US, etc." Released!)

I like the "About Us" section on their website:
quote:
Burke Law Group, PLLC is a full-service law firm that handles challenging legal issues, significant business transactions, and critical disputes. There are four pillars that act as the foundation for the firm. These principles guide everything from the attorneys we hire to the approach we take with handling client matters.
Excellence
“Excellences we get by first exercising them, as also happens in the case of the arts as well. For the things we have to learn before we can do, we learn by doing, e.g. men become builders by building and lyre-players by playing the lyre; so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.” Nichomachean Ethics 2:1 or 1103a15-b25 (trans. W. D. Ross)
Candor
Candor comes from Latin candere, meaning “to shine or glow.” That origin is reflected in the word’s early uses referring to brightness or unstained purity and innocence, which are the sources of today’s familiar use of candor for unquestionably honest expression. The fact that it is frequently preceded by the adjective refreshing suggests that it is often unexpected.
Camaraderie
Camaraderie comes from French camarade, which is also the source of English’s comrade, meaning “friend or associate.”
Magnanimity
Magnanimity comes from Latin magnanimitas, from magna “big” + animus “soul, spirit.” It is the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses a willingness to face danger and dare great action for noble purposes.

Are any other governments providing legal counsel for people who are in their country illegally?

Its not some overly complex crime. Actually its pretty fricking clear

And now you know why there is so much interest by a benevolent "non profit" that Trump just kicked to the curb......
Wonder if any of it actually gets to the orphan kids?

Agreed. I've always been of the belief the originating country should be on the hook for those expenses. This shouldn't be any different.

I see at least 200 million dollars saved. Acacia, a non-profit, was getting 350 million.
